Is cupping effective for acne?

Nowadays, many people pay special attention to their skin. They will be upset for a long time when they get acne. This is also because the work pressure is very high nowadays. They often need to stay up late to work overtime, plus they face the computer every day. If they don’t clean their skin well, they will get acne, which will affect our mood. In order to remove acne, many people choose some traditional Chinese medicine methods, such as cupping. So, is cupping effective for acne?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, acne is mostly caused by blood heat. Cupping combined with bloodletting can clear away heat and toxins, remove dampness and dredge the meridians. Generally, after 2 to 3 treatments, the "fire" will disappear immediately and acne will gradually subside and disappear.

Now I will introduce to you a simple method of cupping to treat acne:

1. Prepare 2 to 3 cupping jars;

2. Select 2 to 3 relatively large acne spots on the back, prick them with a three-edged needle (or an injection needle) to cause bleeding, and squeeze out a few drops of brown-brown blood. Stop squeezing when the squeezed blood turns bright red.

3. The method of cupping is to use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to wipe the inner wall of the cup, light a candle (or lighter), heat the inner wall of the cup, use the heat to expel the air in the cup, and then quickly buckle it on the selected part of the cup. Note: Cupping time should not exceed 10 minutes. Generally, it is best to pull until the skin turns purple and red without blisters. If the time is too long, blisters and infections are likely to occur in hot weather.

Cupping is more effective than scraping. It is not only beneficial for treating acne, but also for treating colds. For girls, it can also treat inflammation. Patients who want to use cupping to treat acne are reminded to go to a regular cupping place for treatment. If you are confident that you can cup yourself, you should pay attention to disinfecting the relevant equipment.

In fact, the effect of cupping on acne treatment varies from person to person, and some people do see certain results after using it. But the game didn't see any effect. Therefore, it is best for all of us to adopt the universal acne removal method and not use those that have not been confirmed by many people. If used improperly, it may make acne worse.

Through the above content, we understand the effect of cupping in treating acne. In fact, don’t think that cupping can solve all problems. You should still pay more attention to your skin in daily life, eat a lighter diet, stay up late less, and clean your skin in time after using the computer to avoid bacteria breeding and causing the growth of acne.
